If I do get some solid gaming time, I'm going to be having a Resident Evil marathon. Starting on the Gamecube, I can go through and fall in love with the series all over again only to finish Resi 4 and cry the entire way through 5 and remind myself why I never bought 6.
At this point the comments I most can't stand to read are the ones along the lines of "It's good that all this money went to charity, but we shouldn't be fooled by what is clearly a PR stunt by EA."
If they are willing to donate large sums of money to charities on a regular basis, they have earned my respect.
Even if EA is staffed exclusively by evil, soulless individuals sitting around discussing things like "this time we only have to donate 2 million dollars to cancer research for people to like us" it makes exactly no difference.
Get your head out of your ass, don't you dare try to put even the slightest negative spin on 1.65 million dollars being donated to charity.
It does not matter whether it was a tax break or a PR stunt, it is 1.65 million dollars that otherwise wouldn't have been donated to cancer research.
I actually love motion controls. Sure, they can be unreliable at times, but look at how far they've come. Looking at the Wii alone, when it first came out the motion controls were relatively unreliable, and slow steady movements were generally required. But with the introduction of motion plus, the motion controls tool a giant leap forward in reliability. Still not perfect, but motion controls are definitely improving.
In response to the video, I think that the most exciting things to think about are combinations of two or more of these devices, along with Oculus Rift.
I have an Xbox One at the moment, and will probably pick up a PS4 when some exclusives come out that interest me a bit more than the current ones, but that's because I have more money than I know what to do with. If I was strapped for cash, in all honesty, (seriously please don't laugh) I would stick with my Wii U and upgrade my PC.
Yeah it sucks that Danny's probably right. I love my Wii U. I bought it on launch day and haven't regretted it for a second. When my friends come over we can play Nintendo Land and Pikmin for hours, and then change to Mario Kart or Smash Bros without any hassle. I was even planning on getting Watch Dogs on Wii U. It's like a giant DS, and the DS is awesome. So here's what we should all do. Go out and buy a Wii U. Like, now. You won't regret it. Instead of picking up a PS4 or X1, which are essentially downgraded PCs with fewer capabilities, go and buy a Wii U instead, which is at least trying to go in a slightly different direction. Then tell your friends you bought a Wii U, and peer pressure them into buying Wii Us of their own. Please guys, be a team please.
While I do agree with this, I feel it would only be if it was bundled for free with the console. The reason the Wii and Wii Sports were so popular is because it came with or was a free piece of software which demonstrated what's so cool about the seemingly pointless new features. If it isn't free, the casual market will be all "Why am I paying so much for that silly little camera which I'll never use? I'll go get that other, cheaper, Sony thing instead."
I'd be sad if Feedbackula stopped. I don't think it contributes to or encourages the silly things people say behind the safety of their internet connection. It's my favorite Gamespot show because it does exactly the opposite, that is, tell the stupid people that they're stupid.
